Elite+ and Elite iQ Q & A

The Elite+ and iQ Aesthetic Workstations are aesthetic laser platforms that allows your team to deliver powerful treatments backed by a strong safety track record. This system is an excellent example of high-quality products for which CynosureⓇ is known. 

Elite+ and iQ use dual-wavelength technology, bringing the power of Nd:YAG together with wavelengths of both 755nm and 1064nm. The systems are flexible, allowing you the ability to customize treatments for all skin types. 

Variable spot sizes and adjustable pulse durations give you more control and enable you to deliver an experience that your clients will love. Switching between wavelengths is simple and easy, even in the middle of a session. Elite+ and iQ also use a patented air cooling technology to support patient comfort. 

The Elite+ and iQ Aesthetic Workstations are able to perform the following functions:

• Laser hair removal
• Hyperpigmentation
• Wrinkle reduction
• Vascular treatments

The ability to deliver outstanding results in multiple treatment areas makes this system an excellent addition to your aesthetics practice. This versatility also pays off by reducing the financial and time investments needed to train your staff to leverage this platform to its greatest potential. 

The versatility of the Elite+ and iQ Aesthetic Workstations make them a great resource for any aesthetics practice, but there are cases in which extreme caution should be used prior to light therapy. For example, patients who are currently taking photosensitizing medication may not be ideal candidates for laser treatments. While the Elite+ and iQ systems do not create UVA or UVB rays, some individuals could have a reaction, so spot testing is needed. 

If your patient is using prescription topical medication to treat acne or to reduce the signs of aging, changes in their skin may make laser therapy risky. The best course of action is to wait until the patient has stopped using the topical medication for at least a couple of weeks before their laser therapy appointment.  

Patients who have had previous gold therapy treatments should never have laser procedures. A thorough screening during the consultation phase is the best way to determine if a patient is a good candidate for laser treatments.
